After a night's rest, I continued to head north with Alaya and the slime "six fish eggs".
It is worth mentioning that Aliya's kendo has indeed improved. She still can't deal with monsters of more than six levels, so whenever I sense monsters that I can't beat, I will find an excuse to go to the toilet, sneak over and clean them up first, and only keep those monsters whose level is similar to Alaya.
But there is a problem here. Although I can kill monsters of level six and above, I can't bring back the materials. If Alaiya sees them, she will probably become suspicious. If you look more closely, I'm afraid it involves another core problem.
I don't want Alayah to know that I'm strong.
On the one hand, it is because my strength mainly comes from the accumulation of experience in my previous life, and the extraordinary talent of this body, which has nothing to do with hard work. And the truth I taught Alaya is that you have to work hard and strive for it. If Alayya knows that she has worked hard for a long time and still can't catch up with me, who is an idler, she will be very sad.
On the other hand, it is only when I am weak that Alayah has the value of protecting me. And she is my bodyguard, and the way she realizes her self-worth is to protect me. So I would rather create a dangerous situation and give her a chance to protect me, than try to show off and take care of everything.
It is not always good to be strong, a sharp thorn can deter enemies, but it can also pierce people around you. The purpose of taking care of others is to make the person being cared for happy, and sometimes you need to put yourself in a vulnerable place, so that the person being cared for understands that you are also useful.
Well, that's all for the above. The core idea is still a lazy word, if Alaiya can protect me well, why should I work hard on my own. Isn't it a bad day to open your mouth and stretch your hands when you have dinner? Speaking from my conscience, I feel very good! It's literally the ultimate goal I'm trying to achieve.
After careful consideration, I decided to let the slime follow me. Every time I was forced to secretly hunt and kill demons above level 6, I let the slimes eat them, so it wouldn't be a waste.
After all, slimes cannot speak human words, and this secret will always rot in its stomach.
Alaya, a monster of about five levels, killed three more.
I killed two demons of the sixth level, and one of the seventh level.
In the future, we don't care about any hygiene issues. Both Alaya and I have blood stains on our bodies, and the blood of the demons sticks to our bodies after drying, so we don't bother to care about it.
After another week or so, the three of us pushed aside the bushes in front of us and were about to step into the next forest when we suddenly heard a hysterical girl screaming:
"Help!!"
Alaiya regained her spirits, she had already put her hand on the hilt of the sword, but she didn't move, but turned her head to look at me, asking for my opinion.
I frowned. I didn't know why there were human cries for help in such a demonic territory all over the barren mountains and wild mountains. However, after a quick perception, the coercion of power coming from the woods is not serious, at best, it is three or four layers of demons, which cannot pose any threat. So I nodded to Alayah and motioned for her to help.
Alaya touched the ground with her toes, and swept into the depths of the jungle in a few steps.
When I arrived with the slime lying on my shoulders, a wolf-shaped demon had already fallen to the ground, with several blood holes left on its body, and it couldn't die anymore. Alaiya was not injured, and calmly wiped the long sword in her hand. She pays great attention to maintenance, even if her body is covered with blood, the sword must always be clean.
And there was a half-grown girl sitting paralyzed on the ground.
She looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, with flaxen braids hanging behind her back, and she was holding a small bamboo basket in her hand. There are some herbs in the bamboo basket, but they have been scattered all over the place at this moment. Her appearance can only be described as fair, she looks like a little maid from a rich family, the cloth dress she is wearing is dirty and old, and her face has been scratched by branches.
After seeing me, the little girl hurried back a few steps and looked at me timidly.
Damn, do I look so scary again
Before I could say anything, the little girl asked timidly:
"My name is Tira. I'm the maid of Thirteenth Sister. Are you...?"
Thirteen... Fang Thirteen?
I was taken aback, have all the people from Fang Shisan mixed into our territory? spy? Undercover? Mission Impossible? Damn, what's going on here, doesn't our own army have any warnings? And this little girl is clearly not very strong. Could it be that, like me, she is practicing kung fu that is not obvious
However, in a flash of divine effort, I slapped my forehead and understood.
Trust me, it's not that someone has infiltrated our territory, it's that we have arrived at the Demon Race territory to the west of Lord Zhaochen.
At that time, in order to avoid the demon army on the west side of Yuxi City, I took Alaya and the others towards the northwest, sometimes west and sometimes north, but I didn’t expect that after walking for so many days, I came to Zhaochen’s side. What is it called to save Fang Shisan's maid who is blind and lame
Seeing that Alaiya and I were not talking, Tira immediately showed a terrified look on her face, and hurriedly hugged the basket to her chest, saying:
"You... I, I really can't afford to give you life-saving money. You can take this life if you want, these herbs are urgently needed by Thirteenth Sister, you can't play with it!"
